METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REPRODUCIBLE PLACEMENT OF ECG CHEST ELECTRODES

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for marking positions for or for positioning of six ECG chest electrodes based on a subject's body height, which allows a reproducible placement of the electrodes in serial independent ECG measurements. The present invention further relates to a device for placement of ECG electrodes which implements said method, and methods and uses applying said device. Hence, the present invention provides an accurate and reproducible, easy to use and low-cost method and device for ECG chest electrode positioning, especially in serial examinations and in obese subjects by minimizing the mistakes in ECG chest electrode placement depending on the subjective and inaccurate defining of anatomic remarks for electrode positions.
